I recently found out that some of my grandchildren had not been to see sap boiled in a New Englandsugar house. So, I made the decision to take them.

A friend has a sugar house and yesterday after checking with him, I found out what time they would begin boiling. Determining that, we headed out a short time later. As we went up the hill to the small farm, my mind flashed to times in my life where I had helped to gather sap, get it to the sugar house and spend way too many hours to develop what many call “liquid gold”.

Bishop Dale C. Bronner

One of the purposes of prophets is that they will never let you settle for building the kingdom on principles alone. Prophets will be a thorn in your side until you hear the word they carry from the Lords own mouth about any given situation. They will be restless and discontent until they see the cloud they are carrying manifest in the earth. At the first raindrop they will rejoice knowing God has brought about his will for His people.

Patrick Quade

-Every Paul needs a Timothy. Someone to mentor.
-Every Timothy needs a Paul. Someone to be mentored by.
-Every Paul needs a Barnabas. Someone one to hang out with, peer to peer.
